Don’t we all have things that we say will happen one of these days. And in our daily lives we always try to prepare for what could happen. We want to set our selves up for success. But what do we do in our spiritual life to be successful? When we are doing our Jobs we do everything possible to make the best result. To raise the best crop for the best harvest in our fields, to produce the most widgets to meet our quota to be their when we are called upon to service our customers. But do we have the same drive when building a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. Just in our daily Jobs and relationships their is a time limit to succeed. in our daily jobs we are limited by schedules and or weather. But normally we have guidelines to follow as to when things need to be accomplished. But when it comes to the Lord we do not know what that dead line is. We do not know if we will die tomorrow or even “Maybe Today”. So what are we waiting on. Knowing that “Maybe Today” could be the day we are going to meet our maker are we prepared. Have we asked for forgiveness, Have we accepted Jesus as our lord and savior? You see there is no other way to prepare for this meeting. So we need to start today to do the work it takes to be in a place to ask Jesus for forgiveness and ask him into our heart as our lord and savior. Where do we start? first and foremost is in prayer. Go to him and ask for guidance ask him to reveal himself to you. When you begin to want to know him better he will be faithful to you. He will show you what you need to do to become closer to him. You see as I look around the church I see many different people with many different paths to meet Jesus. I bet no ones story is exactly the same. I was watching Andy Griffith one day and Opey asked Andy when Jesus was coming back and Andy said we did not know that’s why we pray everyday so we are ready when ever he comes back. Have you ever thought about that. you realize it Might Be Today. We have all heard the old saying live like your dying. But we never know when that might be so instead of doing all the fun things that we can in case we might dye today. We better do the things God ask us to do to prepare in case today is the day he returns. We need to prepare for the day we meet our maker because we never know when that day will be it just “Maybe Today”.
